Hi nurses, I'm a new member here and I've been reading alot with regards to CGFNS' CVS. I know it's a pretty popular topic and that's why I'm having a hard time finding the answer I've been looking for. I have tried contacting CGFNS via phone but I can't seem to connect to their line because it says that all lines are busy as of the moment. I just wanted to ask if I'm currently on the right track with regards to my application for this service. I've had my nursing education outside the US so that's how I know I'm supposed to undergo this processing so as to acquire an RN license for NY.
What I've done so far is I have applied online on the CGFNS' site (http://www.cgfns.org) and have been filling out the required fields on every page of the online registration. Then I placed an order for CGFNS' CVS for NYS for which I paid for via credit card. I remember doing this around mid-December of last yr (2010) and I'm just worried that I have overlooked something that would entail a delay in my processing. Or worse, that I haven't fully completed my application and documents are lacking. Please help me because I am so confused right now with regards to this application and what else i should do. Godbless to all. :)
This is the current status of my order and application:
Credential Verification Service for New York State (CVS) - Credential Verification Service for New York State (CVS) [Order Status: WAITING FOR REQUIRED ITEMS]
Requirement
PAYMENT IN FULL - PAID IN FULL [?]
APPLICATION - RECEIVED [?]
SIGNED NOTARIZED APPLICATION - WAITING TO BE RECEIVED [?]
LICENSE VALIDATION FORM -REQUIREMENT WAIVED [?]
LICENSE AUTHORIZATION FORM -REQUIREMENT WAIVED [?]
TRANSCRIPT VALIDATION FORM (*from my college it says) - WAITING TO BE RECEIVED [?]
TRANSCRIPT AUTHORIZATION FORM (*from my college it says) - WAITING TO BE RECEIVED [?]
ISSUED REPORT - WAITING FOR APPROVAL [?]
The thing that mose confuses me right now is what is the signed notarized application? Along with the transcript validation and authorization form? Where can I get ahold of those documents? Am I the one supposed to fill out and submit them to CGFNS?
